Once upon a time...

:thumbsup:
That was good. Guy has a thing for wine coolers and porcelon deer. I think the funniest character was Heavy D doing the 50's leave it to beaver talk.
 
From wikipedia:

"This provided a cash infusion, but the clash of cultures was too great to overcome, and, in frustration, five years later Matsushita sold control MCA/Universal to the Canadian liquor distributor Seagram. Hoping to build a media empire around Universal, Seagram bought Polygram and other entertainment properties, and created MCA/Universal Home Video Inc. to enter the lucrative videotape sales industry; but the up-and-down profit in Hollywood was no substitute for a secure cash-cow like whiskey."
 
That's hilarious. Thanks for sharing with us, and hope you don't get in too much trouble for hosting it on your site!
 
When I play the video, it opens in Windows media player and is just audio with visuals turned on.... anyone else?

Edit: I got it working... needed the DivX plugin/

Glad you guys liked it. Universal is really the smarmy studio in Hollywood. A cheese factory if you will. And cheap omg. The only thing they will do to me is send me a letter to tell me to take it down. So keep your copy of it :)

despite the fame and fortune, you can see the sensibility of what those guys do is pretty much the same - which is a good thing.

Considering they've isolated themselves from pretty much everyone in hollywood, I'd be curious to see how many celebs would do this with them today.

The Porcelain Deer made me lose it EVERY time!!
 
The fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter. they can do whatever the hell they want. they make unbelievably popular movies for dirt ass cheap.

see how well tom cruise is doing lately?
 
The Wine cooler thing is related to the fact that ALL employees at Universal under Seagrams got a $200 liquor allowance per year. I bought my dad bottles of The GlenLivet 18 year old whiskey with my allowance when I was there.
 
Well, to give you an example - I worked on the new film premiers and after-parties. The budget for the after-party for The Mummy, was $1.1M. $600K of that was for booze - Booze bought at a significant discount from Seagrams.
 
how about a wine cooler, and a lovely porcelain deer?

jfc its 2 in the morning on a sunday. i'm going to die.
